Holy Shock Holy Shock1/1Blasts the target with Holy energy, causing 129 to 139 Holy damage to an enemy, or 110 to 118 healing to an ally.

How to play this beta version

  1. Use Holy Light for planned healing and Flash of Light when a faster response is needed.
  2. Save Holy Shock for movement or immediate recovery; use Divine Favor deliberately.
  3. Maintain useful blessings and use Purify for poison and disease when the target needs it.

What changes from the 51-point build?

  • Light's Vigil is a 31-point talent and cannot be part of this version.
  • Cleanse is recorded at level 42; Purify does not grant the same magic-dispel coverage.

For opponents that contest casts, the Holy PvP variant adds Voice of Truth and Infusion of Light while reducing Illumination and Purifying Power investment.

Why this beta talent split?

Holy Shock requires the full 21-point Holy commitment. Retribution Benediction can discount instant spells and Protection Toughness can add item armor, but either removes the instant heal and some Illumination support at this budget.

How to play Holy Raid Healer

Use Flash of Light for manageable damage and Holy Light when a larger heal is needed. Holy Shock provides an immediate option when you must move or react quickly. Pair Divine Favor with an eligible heal when a guaranteed crit is valuable. Use Cleanse on allies and coordinate blessings. Choose positioning for the encounter rather than assuming plate armor makes standing in melee safe.

Related planning: Read the dungeons and raids guide, open the Paladin talent calculator, or review the class changes before you finalize the build.
